Wishing that men still took care of and looked after women

I find myself randomly wishing that men still took care of and looked after women completely. Don't get me wrong lol I think female rights are great and important...for some women. Personally I don't care for going to college and having a career, nor I do even care about voting. I'm going to of course, because today's economy is not suited for what I want in the future, a family of 4, with only one parent working.

All of that aside, I feel as though what I truly want sometimes is to be a future stay at home wife and mother, while my husband provided what I needed and bought what I wanted when feasible. I would cook, clean, and look after our children. Basically Little House on the Prairie.

Am I a fail as a 21st century woman? I am only 21.

  • What you're describing is one of the best types of relationships men and women can have today.

    Things get really complicated when both partners work and things get even worse when they're kids involved.

    If I had millions of dollars and were ready to marry I'd look for someone just like you.
    I find women like you far sexier and more desirable than a workaholic career gal.

    I don't want my wife / serious girlfriend working or working too hard and I'd especially want her home raising the kids rather than making peanuts and orphaning them.

    Girls/women working often makes them exhausted, unavailable, unhappy and opens the doorway and invites cheating.

    Before some of the clowns on here disagree know that I've lived it.

    I've dated career women that work 60 hours a week and they're too busy and tired for a personal relationship because they're already in a relationship with their jobs.
    They are horrible partners. They are more like roommates you fuck after work and before breakfast. You don't see them hardly at all and it makes being committed to them a waste of time.
    Always have to negotiate and work around their stupid work schedule is annoying as hell, then they have to fly out of town for their stupid job and you see them even less.

    They actually spend a lot more time with their coworkers than their mate.
    I can't be committed to someone like that, it's a waste of my life.

    I've of course also dated girls without any jobs or had part time work and it's much better.
    These gals are much more fun, have the time and freedom to travel, go out, spend quality time together :)

    Let's face it most things are not important so that reduces the need for a lot of money.
    Who really cares about buying $600 purses and wearing $500 shoes or driving a $90k Range Rover?

    It's stupid and it's a waste of time working extra for those things.

    Part of the reason I want to become a millionaire is so I can find the right woman and take care of her and probably raise a family together.

    I'd like to travel the world with her for a few years before we settle down and pop out brats ;)

    As long as she doesn't cheat on me and isn't a bitch she'll be taken care of her entire life.

    So don't feel bad for wanting something more traditional. You sound pretty awesome to me and all you need is to find the right male and you'll be very happy!
    :)

    Some trolls on here think I'm an asshole but in reality they have no clue that I'm one of the best guys you'd ever be lucky enough to meet :)

      To be honest, reading the first sentence I thought you were going to be a complete dickhead, but you're actually just stating your personal preference, without demanding that all women adapt to fit it, so no, you're not an asshole at all.

      • Thanks I appreciate that.

        Some people on here really do misunderstand what I write at times and then smack talk, lol.

        Anyway, yes it's my personal preference for a relationship and I don't mind at all if other girls want to be career girls. I think it's great they're living their dreams but I think it's not healthy for a good relationship because I've been in them.

      That's exactly how I feel! I really am glad to see so many people on here understand. Currently I do have a part time job, it hardly ever interferes with the personal time of my partner and I. I know however, that a career will. I'm just hoping that in the future after I work a couple years of full time he'll come around to my point of view on this. He's a very southern kind of guy and most of his morals line up with exactly what I want in a guy, just not this one lol.

      If that doesn't happen however, I'll just caught back my hours on my own. Which would work just fine considering the only career I want would be as a defense attorney

      • Hi :)

        If he hasn't wanted to marry you yet I can tell you exactly what males want and what makes them propose.

        Just let me know if you want my advice.

        "I'm just hoping that in the future after I work a couple years of full time he'll come around to my point of view on this. "

        Here's some quick advice to get him to see things your way :

        Over time, every job you have let him know there's other males trying seduce and fuck you. You can also start talking about some cute guy at work that other girls like etc, etc. and how he wants to be friends with you. Let him know some of the other girls are cheating on their husbands/wives with the other guys at work.

        You could have a coworker party and invite the other cute guys over and let your man see you chatting them up.
        It'll drive him nuts.

        ALL (normal) males are jealous as hell and very protective of their women if he really cares about you and his relationship with you.
        The last thing any male wants is for his woman to be around sleazy low life guys trying to seduce and fuck her and ruin the relationship. Smart guys know this happens at every job she has so naturally smart guys in love or that care about you won't want you in that environment because he'll want to protect your relationship.

        Also, smart males know to keep their women happy. If your working is a threat to his relationship and your happiness because you've told him you don't want to work full time and would rather be a homemaker then he should respect that.

        If he really cares for you and you're a sweetheart to him, there's really no reason for him not to respect what you want and for him to protect his relationship with you.

        It's a win win.

        You get what you want and so does he by protecting his relationship with you ;)

          If it gets to where our relationship is being affected I think I try that lol. Well except for the coworker party, because honestly it would end in a fist fight. My boyfriend is a prime example of jealousy and territorial when it comes to other men. Now he doesn't freak out when a guy looks my way or simply talks to me, but he'll be on edge waiting for the first wink or sexual innuendo.

    Provided you found a man with the same outlook, why not?

    I see it as we have the option to choose.

    I'd hate it, myself, but that doesn't mean I can't see why it would work for some.

    It is normal, I always was looking for a man who would take care of me and our children, unfortunately different people have different understanding of word care and somehow think it's the same as control. What happened to me that I was the one who was taking care of everybody in the family and husband was taking control over my and my children's life and finances. Then I got sick of it and now I am a single parent and doesn't need anybody, because nobody can care for me and my children better then myself. And I definitely don't need anybody to control me and spend my money calling it care.

    Did I write this? Oh, no I didn't. But I feel exactly the same! I'm going to school because I know chances are I'll have to work at least part time and it's smart to have that degree just in case you get divorced so you won't have to work for minimum wage.
    I want the same stuff and I've had people tell me that won't work but I think it's perfectly normal
    Good luck!

    The person above who says that being ahoy sewage is the easiest job in the world... Are you fucking kidding me?

    Raising and taking care of children? Being the main point of contact for all education and health officials? Preparing and cooking three meals a day? Doing the dishes at least three times a day? Doing all of the grocery shopping? Knowing everyone's schedules inside out? Looking after/walking pets? Doing everyones laundry? Vacuuming? Polishing? Tidying up after everyone else's mess?

    Sounds like a fucking doddle. Attitudes like this need to change. Being a housewife is one of the most stressful jobs you can have, and on top of that, hardly anyone ever recognises all of the hard work that goes into it, because apparently it's 'easy'.

    Look, ffs, a quick lesson in feminism: it's all about .~*choice*~. If you want to be a full time Mum then go ahead, similarly for if you want to have a career. Feminism isn't about forcing you to be a business woman. It's just saying that you shouldn't get railed against for your choices, because: A. 'Eww that's too 'girly'', or B. 'That's not a woman's 'place''.

    If you feel that way about how men treat women, then fair enough, whatever. Just know that they're your views, and don't judge anyone else by them.

    To be honest, I would love a woman like that. It would actually motivate me to do better for myself, as well as her. It's a win win situation, no matter how you look at it. I've had this idea that women such as yourself would make better partners, as you could devote the time necessary for the relationship.
    Just my opinion here, but I think women today are way too focused on careers and not enough on themselves.

    No you're not a fail! Don't ever say that to yourself!! Everyone has a different outlook on life, and you just have a neat old fashioned-ish one. Go ahead and live like Little House on the prairie if you like. Find yourself a decent man and live your dreams. I won't stop you.

    Perhaps we should keep a zoo full of patriarchal men who don't believe in equality but do believe in controlling you.

    • "Perhaps we should keep a zoo full of patriarchal men who don't believe in equality but do believe in controlling you."

      It's not about not believing in equality, it's about what's best for a healthy relationship.

      Historically throughout time this has been the way it's been and it's what works best for everyone involved.

      It's got nothing to do with controlling or not being equal.

      Males and females are not equals nor should they be.
      If they were exactly the same there would be less reason to be in a relationship.
      Males and females complete each other like the missing parts of a puzzle.

      I would the same in reverse.

      In cases where the female makes a lot of money and the male wanted to stay home and raise the kids and be super dad, then great!

      It's much better for a family unit to have one parental unit stay at home raising the children rather than be raised by strangers (nanny) or MTV.

      Don't think so?

      Why do you think society / people are so fucked up these days?

      Too many broken homes raising children without morals or healthy values.

    I guess you are looking in the wrong places. Try the deep south or Appalachia, where many men feel a woman's place is in the kitchen, barefoot and pregnant, not in the work place.
